Young mom loves being a hairdresser
Maserame shared that she’s loved the art of hairdressing since she was a kid at primary school and would do her dolls' hair:
“I remember when I was still growing up, I used to do people's hair in my family and neighbourhood. I won't forget the day I got paid R50 for doing my aunt's hair. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was so happy. I believe that was one of the things that made me fall in love with hairdressing.”
With her family members happily obliging to be her models, Maserame’s passion grew, and now she has honed her craft and enjoys the industry even more:
“Being a hairdresser is a positive challenge and brings out the creativity in me I didn't know existed. That's why I love it. It doesn't limit me. I love the freestyling that comes with it and that there's no manual to hairdressing.”

The entrepreneur explains that after matric, she started becoming more serious about her craft:
“I was just a girl interested in playing with people's hair, nothing much. After matric, I took an unplanned gap year and that's when I took hairdressing seriously, especially for the financial part of it.”
Maserame notes that while her field does have a few challenges, her love of the craft keeps her going. The lovely lady has inspiring aspirations:
“My future aspirations are to own a hair salon, a mobile one at that, and create employment for our talented sisters in the hood who are not finding jobs.”
